Perhaps my mother blessed me with a love of books and the written word by naming me after a book.
Being the namesake of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss's "Shanna" is something I've always been proud of. It was the perfect precursor for the strong love for books that developed within my book-loving family. My sister, as well, is named after a book - "Forever Amber".
I had a regular, though colorful, childhood and a bizarre, often dangerous, early adulthood - which has shaped me into the person I am today. Someday I plan to write a book of my exploits; until now, suffice it to say I've gone from hitting rock bottom and being homeless to rising above it all and being successful and comfortable. Henry David Thoreau says, "Do not sit down to write until you have stood up to live." I believe in those words immensely.
Currently I reside in my home state of Louisiana, with my Cajun boyfriend and 4 cats.
